Cyclic references (browser infinite loop)

[shumy]

I have been testing docson, but reached a problem of browser entering in a infinite loop, when I have cyclic references. There are a lot of events "MessageEvent".
It seems like the references are pre-fetched. Is there any way to disable this pre-fetched behavior?

I can confirm this happens. For example with this schema :

 {
    "description": "circular defintions",
    "schema": {
      "definitions": {
        "a": {
          "properties":{
           "prop3":{"$ref": "#/definitions/b"}
            }
        },
        "b": {
          "properties":{
            "prop2":{"$ref": "#/definitions/a"}
           }
        }
      },
      "properties":{
        "prop1":{"$ref": "#/definitions/b"}
      }
    }

I'm not sure how to fix this cleanly (something about detecting the cycle at the appropriate time)

It's also happening to me, I have an article.json having a body attribute of type articlebody.json which a list of articleparts.json which is an "anyOf" some items like text, image, etc, and also iarticleparts.json to allow recursion, which is our definition of mixed lists of elements in our article bodies.

Encontering this, docson downloads my json definitions in an infinite loop :-(

Infinite loops should be fixed in the dev branch (and part of the next release)
